We LOVE this place. Set in the Surrey country side, Priory Farm has everything you’d want for a young family.
In the summer months there is a beautiful sunflower maze just big enough to get lost in, but not forever!
Great place to take photos too!
For an unusually very reasonable charge there is a trail that meanders around the whole farm with puzzles and physical challenges to complete as you walk around. There are seasonal trails and quizzes you can take part in too with little prizes at the end. The views are beautiful.
The kids love feeding the fish in the lake at the end of the trail. They gather in literally hundreds waiting to be fed. The noise they make is fascinating and boy are they hungry! You can buy fish food as you enter the trail for a small additional charge.
Kids can enjoy adventure and discover all sorts here. There is also a little water activity, like a mini water canal, where they can purchase a little duck to float down the canal. Be prepared though, they will get wet!
Before you enter the trail area and totally free of charge is a lovely pirate ship play area surrounded by picnic tables where you can tuck in to your own goods. There is also a coffee counter here selling hot and cold drinks, ice creams and snacks etc.
The toilets are also located in this area.
If you like a good garden centre you’re in luck. There is a lovely one here with a fab restaurant that backs on to another outdoor play area. There is a fabulous farm shop just across the road from the main car park too.
The only downside in the summer months was the number of wasps. There were several, but only seemed to bother people sitting and eating at the picnic tables. I did see several wasp deterrents and catchers located all over seated area so they are working on removing these.
My advice would be just avoid sitting near the central waste bin areas as they seemed to gather there mostly and remember to take a hat and sun cream if visiting in summer months. They do autumn and winter based activities too so take a look at their website below.
Well worth a visit and I can guarantee you’ll go back again. We have, a few times now!
